No, that is NOT the correct way to do it. The XML layout files contain everything you need to easily support different screen densities. First of all, define all dimensions using fill_parent/wrap_content or the dip unit. For instance, instead of layout_width="10px" use "10dip". Also, you can create resource directories that are configuration dependent: drawable-320x240/ or drawable-120dpi/.
The current versions of Android (1.0 and 1.1) let you use these features but they are not interpreted correctly. Cupcake however correctly transforms the dip unit into pixels and lets you use the XXXdpi resource directories.
